Neutral I may be alone on this, but I think a full body shot would have been preferable. Plus I find the background somewhat distracting. Do you have a full body shot? --The High Fin Sperm Whale 03:10, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I am happy to see you again after a long time. I don't have a full body shot. I shot the image through a hole in the wire-netting fence in the Wildpark Lüneburger Heide. I used AF-S Micro NICCOR 60 mm (it is no zoom lens) and could not enlarge the detail because I was too near to the Waldkauz. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 22:21, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Fine details and no problem with the background in larger view. But I prefer a tighter crop with only top 2/3 of the current frame than this; or a full body shot. -- Jkadavoor (Jee) (talk) 07:32, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Good shot, even if I find the background disturbing... -Gzzz (talk) 21:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
